Golden Visa UAE is one of the most talked about residency programs globally for its long-term benefits and the UAE’s pro-investment appeal. It is your gateway to dreamy opportunities and a life in the world’s most dynamic hubs, where nothing is inaccessible to you.
It was launched in 2019 with the aim of attracting and retaining top talent and fostering business development in the UAE. In 2021 alone 47,150 visas were issued. In 2023, this number surged to 158,000, signalling the quality of growth opportunity that the UAE offers.
The UAE Golden Visa is designed to attract diverse, best-in-class talent and capital. You can apply for the Golden Visa if you fall into one of the following categories:
1. Investor: You invest in investment funds, given that you own the investment capital.
2. Real Estate Investor: You own a property or a group of properties valued at not less than 2 million dirhams
3. Entrepreneur: Startup founders and innovators launching a project of technical or future nature based on risk and innovation
4. Skilled Professionals: Exceptionally talented doctors, scientists, creative individuals, inventors, executors, athletes, doctoral degree holders, and others.
5. Outstanding Students: Exceptionally high-performing students at the high school and university level
6. Pioneers in Humanitarian Fields: Individuals working with local, regional, or international organizations focusing on humanitarian work.
At the core of the Golden Visa UAE is the 5 or 10-year renewable residency visa. Unlike other visas, it does not require a sponsor, taking away significant complexity from the process. Enjoy unprecedented freedom to work, live, and invest on your own terms.
Golden Visa opens up the doors not just for you, but for your family too. You can sponsor your spouses and children regardless of their age. Additionally, you can sponsor unlimited domestic helpers to ensure your family leads a comfortable life here.
Unlike other visa programs, the Golden Visa imposes no six-month rule restrictions. You can travel and stay outside the UAE for more than 6 months without losing your residency. This is of special significance for freelancers, investors, and entrepreneurs who travel often to keep their businesses running.
With a Golden Visa, you don't require 100% AED 2 million upfront. Off-plan and mortgaged properties are equally qualified for a Golden Visa.
